Any insights on finding part-time student jobs at Drexel?

I'm thinking about applying to Drexel, and I'm curious about the part-time job opportunities for students there. What's the job market like on campus or nearby, and how easy is it to find flexible work around class schedules?

Drexel University, being located in the heart of Philadelphia, provides a good number of opportunities for students in the form of part-time jobs. On-campus, various departments and offices often have job postings for students. Positions can range from working in the library, doing administrative tasks in academic departments, assisting in residence halls, or even working in areas related to their course of study. These on-campus jobs are very mindful of student schedules and are typically flexible when it comes to exam periods and school holidays.

Off-campus, as you're in a major city like Philadelphia, there is an array of part-time work available within walking distance or a short public transport ride. These can be in retail, food service, tutoring, or possibly internships related to your major.

Many students from Drexel also take advantage of the university's robust co-op program to gain work experience. The university has established relationships with a large network of employers, both in Philadelphia and around the world. While these are not typically considered part-time jobs since they involve full-time work for a period of six months, they provide invaluable experience and potential compensation.

In terms of finding these jobs, Drexel's Career Development Center is a valuable resource: https://drexel.edu/scdc/. They can help you refine your resume, present you with job opportunities, prepare you for job interviews, and host various job and career fairs throughout the year. Additionally, scopes of these opportunities and job availability are regularly posted on Drexel's online student portal. Getting connected early on can definitely pave the path to success in finding part-time employment during your time there.
